Title: Springfield 1898 Krag 30-40 Unissued?????? Value..
Post by Mitch on Jan 31st, 2012 at 3:10am
After close examination between two collectors, this Krag has been determined to be possibly unissued. The gun is correct. I have done extensive research on this gun and find it to be possibly unissued. Cartouche marked 1901 is good. Cleaning rods and oiler still in butt plate. Bluing is exceptional as is the wood. Firing proof mark is where it needs to be. Bluing is a mottled grey with a blue background. This rifle is dead drop georgeous. When I bought it, I was going to shoot it and actually bought ammo for it. But then I decided to save it as a safe queen because it was in such great shape I didn't want to deter the value from firing it. Couple of dings here and there.  Just wanted to know what this would be valued at in today's market. I'm new to this forum so bear with me. Sorry, no pics just go by my description as I'm sure everyone knows this rifle. Thanks.  :)
